Spring 2020 Graduates

Congratulations to all 37 of our spring 2020 graduates! As we say goodbye to these students we welcome them to our alumni - a rich and vibrant group of arts practitioners, professionals and administrators paving the future of the arts in a wide range of arts education and policy related fields.

In light of these unprecedented times which impose restrictions on large public gatherings, Ohio-State is unable to host their traditional spring commencement ceremony. These circumstances should not detract from the monumentality of of these students' accomplishment. AAEP encourages our students to find a way to mark this day differently and to do so with friends and family, even if it is at a distance. There are multiple ways in which students may participate with the Ohio State community including through Arts and Sciences Send-Off on Saturday, May 2nd at noon and through Ohio State’s Virtual Commencement on Sunday, May 3rd beginning at noon. The ASC Send-Off will feature remarks from Executive Dean Gretchen Ritter and ASC faculty members. Ohio State’s virtual commencement will feature Tim Cook, CEO of Apple. This virtual event in no way limits or excludes a future live commencement ceremony. The university will plan and hold such a celebration for members of the spring class of 2020, their families and guests at a time that is both safe and practical.
